Sometimes I have these moments over again. Most recently It was Steve Potts and Steve Lacy on In walked Bud (Morning Joy) I had forgotten how that one burned! The Jimmy Lyons Box was a revelation also.

I am looking forward to the June 18th show at the Britt in Jacksonville. The lineup for this show is Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Dave Holland and Brian Blade. This will be a first time seeing Shorter for me.

I've Had my 5 gig first gen I-pod for about three years. It still works fine, the battery does not hold as much of a charge as it use to but It still works for about 8 hrs. I have 746 Albums about 99.7 gig on an external Lacie Hard-drive and do most of my listening on my I-pod It has been well worth the investment

Thanks for the quick replies

In Gunther Schuller's The Swing Era, he refers to a quartet of sides recorded in Paris of April of 1939 by Django Reinhardt,Rex Stewart, Barney Bigard and Bill Taylor. Noted by Schuller (pg 834) is that these four sides were recorded under Rex Stewart's leadership by a French Swing label and released in the U.S. in the early forties on the HRS label as by Rex Stewart's Big Four. He also notes that three of the original titles-Montmarte, Finesse, and Solid Old Man-were changed on the HRS reissues to-Django's Jump, Night Wind, and Solid Rock-, respectively and the fourth title is Low Cotton. Does anybody know if these sides have every been reissued on CD?

Thanks TJazz for the heads up on Deep Discount I recieved my set today What an excellent product, I have never seen a Bear Family set before but I agree with ghost of miles that they up the ante I only listened to a couple of tunes so I can't really comment on the music

If I was at the Blue Train session (my bithday) would I have never been born and to have never been born how could I die! This is too deep for me

I would recommend this cd to anyone who likes avant jazz David, I got your email thanking me for purchaseing the cd but have been so busy I have not had a chance to respond with a good review All I will say right now is that this recording has been on my Ipod for over a month and is a "great" session.
